CT Winner
CHARLES TOWN -- Seemingly
beaten at the head of the stretch,
favored Why Jan responded to jockey
Cedric Lewis' urging to wear down
25-to-1 longshet Wetland Canal in deep
stretch and post a neck decision in the
Raymond C. Kohlhepp Memorial
Stakes Saturday at the Oracles Town
Races. Why Jan has now won five of
her last six races, including Charles
Town's last three stakes.
Why Jan earned $10,920 of the total
$16,800 purse for Heavenly Acres
Farms, boosting her lifetime earnings
over the $220,000 mark. The Donald
Saville-trained mare ran the seven
furlongs in 1:27.3 while carrying top
weight of 127 pounds. Why Jan paid
$2.80 as the prohibitive favorite.
"This race was very hard on her,"
Lewis said. "It took everything she
had to win it. I don't think the weight
bothered her as much as the track did.
It was a very deep track and she got
tired toward the end. When we pass-
ed the finish line she pulled right up,
and usually she runs off for a while.
Down the backstretch, jockey Larry
Dupuy had Welland Canal running
smoothly in second behind Bold Quest,
about two lengths in front of Why Jan.
Dupuy and Welland Canal pulled away
around the far turn and with a furlong
to run looked to be the winners. But
Why Jan dug in and prevailed despite
giving 12 pounds to the runner-up.

Action
LITTLE LEAGUE
District 6, Area 4 Little league tour-
nament action gets underway today at
the South Berkeley diamond at Bunker
Hill.
A single contest is scheduled for this
afternoon at 5:30 when Berkeley
Springs tackles Hedgesville. The loser
will then take on one of Jefferson
County's two tourney representatives,
the Charles Town-Ranson Little
League All-Stars, the game to be
played Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock, also at Bunker Hill.
Another opening round game in the
double elimination tournament pits
South Berkeley against the Jefferson
County Little League All-Stars Friday
afternoon at 5:30 at Bunker Hill. The
loser will go on to play Martinsburg's
representatives Saturday afternoon at
4:30.
Play in the loser's bracket will take
place Sunday afternoon at 2 and 4
p.m.; on Monday afternoon at 2:30,
and finally on Tuesday afternoon at 5
o'clock, with the winner of the loser's
bracket advancing to the loser's
bracket of the district tournament.
SENIOR DIVISION
In the Senior Division of Little
League play the District 6 title was to
have been settled Wednesday
afternoon.
Martinsburg, undefeated in senior
division action, was to meet once-
beaten Grafton in an early afternoon
contest. A Martiusburg win would net
the Berkeley Countians the district ti-
tle. A Grafton win would necessitate
a second game the same afternoon.
Jefferson County's senior all-stars
played well enough in their opening
round game with South Berkeley,
posting an 8-5 decision. But the second
time out, Jefferson was eliminated,
losing two games in one day, to
Berkeley Springs, 4 to 3, and to Hamp-
shire, 8-4.
JUNIOR DIVISION
The Jefferson Little Lague junior
division team appears to be in the
driver's seat in District 6, Area 2
play.
Jefferson won its open(rig, tour-
nament contests and remains un-
defeated in the winner's bracket. Jef-
ferson was scheduled to meet South
Berkeley Wednesday evening at
Hedgesville.
In the meantime, Martinsburg was
eliminated from junior competition
when Hedgesville scored an 8-7
decision in extra innings Tuesday at
Hedgesville.
Senior circuit play is scheduled for
completion this week.

HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICNext Wednesday, July
20, from 9 to 11 a.m., all Jefferson High School and Jef-
ferson County junior high school students (Shepher-
dstown, Charles Town and Harpers Ferry) who plan to
participate in school athletic programs in 1988-89 will
undergo physical examinations at Jefferson High
School. Local physicians and nurses will donate their
time to administer the physicals, which are a necessary
adjunct to participation in any structured school sport.
Jefferson High Trainer Peachy Dield urges all prospec-
tive sports participants, boys and girls, to take advan-
tage of this free physical examination.
AT WRESTLING CLINIC--Kenny Miller II, son of
Mrs. Linda Jennings, South Brooke Street, Charles
Town, and Kenny Miller of Summit Point, attended the
1988 Annapolis. (Md.) Wrestling Clinic held at the U.S.
Naval Academy in Annapolis this past June. The ten-
day clinic consisted of running five miles each morning,
wrestling sessions, weightlifting, competitive wrestling,
swimming, films and instructional drill classes. Kenny,
who will be a senior member of the Jefferson High
Cougar wrestling squad this coming school term, said
he had an enjoyable time but more importantly believes
that what he learned will be helpful in wrestling com-
petition at JHS.
MARSHALL SCHEDULE TOUGHENS--The football
schedule of Marshall University in Huntington will
toughen considerably come the early 1990's, according
to announcement made by the Herd's new athletic
director, Lee Moon. A three-game series against North
Carolina State has been arranged, with all three games
in Raleigh, starting October 1991, the second on Sep-
tember 11 in 1993 and the third on September 16, 1995. In
addition, the Herd has scheduled the Tar Heels of North
Carolina on October 2, 1993, at North Carolina. A real
feather in the cap of the Huntington institution, which
hopes for a new football stadium where it might be able
to book Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the future.
All is not sweetness at Marshall, however, where the
athletic department is taking steps to overcome a half-
million dollar deficit in the school's athletic funds. A
committee was named to look into the problem and is
expected to come up with guidelines later this month
that will provide safeguards against the recurrence of
the problem. Marshall, an NCAA Division 1-AA member
of the Southern Conference, also was visited by a
representative of the NCAA, Terri Rifle, who reported
that Marshall had taken the proper steps toward
remedying its financial problems.
WILL CONFERENCE SWITCH?--The West Virginia
Intercollege Athletic Conference is currently mulling
the possibility of switching its membership from the
NAIA'to NCAA Division II membership. Barry Blizzard,
who serves as commissioner of the 13-team circuit, is
currently studying the pros and cons of such a change.
He'll present factual information (but no recommen-
dation) to the presidents of the thirteen schools in March
of next year, and they'll in turn render a decision. The
NAIA is currently busy defending its status with the
West Virginia teams - Shepherd, West Virginia State,
West Virginia Tech, Charleston, Fairmont State, Glen-
ville State, David and Elkins, Wheeling, Alderson-
Broaddus, Concord, Bluefield, West Liberty and Salem.
Presently, according to NAIA representative associate
executive director Wally Schwartz, West Virginia's
District 28 is traditionally one of the strongest in the
NAIA, and it is expected the NAIA will go all out to
maintain West Virginia's membership in the
organization.
BELIEVE IT--The Los Angeles Lakers just com-
pleted the professional basketball season by retaining
their world championship by defeating the Detroit
Pistons. Would you believe that professional football
starts Sunday when the Washington Redskins begin
their Super Bowl title defense by reporting to Dickinson
College in Carlisle, Pa.? Believe it-actual pre-season
games will get underway August 5 at RFK Stadium
against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The regular season
opener is September 5 at the New York Giants.
